“…On the other hand, the hosts of C. moraveci belong to the most frequently recorded hosts of C. cotti in aquarium conditions worldwide. Probably identical with C. cotti is also Camallanus maculatus Martins, Piazza et Garcia, 2004 reported from aquarium-reared Xiphophorus maculatus (Günther) in Brazil (Martins et al 2004), but since this species has not yet been formally described (per. comm.…”

ABSTRACT. This study aimed to characterize the metazoan parasitic fauna associated with freshwater farmed ornamental fish in Southern Brazil. Between July 2014 and January 2015, a total of 423 fish belonging to nine species were examined: Pterophylum scalare, Betta splendens, two varieties of Carassius auratus, Danio rerio, Xiphophorus helleri, two varieties of Xiphophorus maculatus, Poecilia sphenops, Tanichthys albonubes and Puntius sachsii. In each fish collection, the water quality parameters were measured. Specimens were obtained from three ornamental fish farms located in three micro-regions in the State of Santa Catarina (Araquari, Biguaçu and Camboriú). Parasitological indexes were obtained after qualitative and quantitative parasitological analysis. Monogenean parasites, nematodes, and cestodes were found in all facilities. Nevertheless, nematodes and monogeneans presented 100% of prevalence in P. scalare from Araquari. From the analyzed species, P. scalare showed the highest parasite richness.

“…Whereas C. corderoi, a parasite mainly of P. trucha in Chile and Argentina, has the buccal capsule with dentigerous ridges (subgenus Zeylanema Yeh), both other species, parasites of osteoglossiform fishes in the Amazon River Basin, have smooth ridges in the capsule (nominotypical subgenus Camallanus); the latter differ from each other in conspicuously different lengths and shapes of the female tail. Recently, Martins et al (2007) described a new species, C. maculatus Martins, Garcia, Piazza and Ghiraldelli from the cultured ornamental fish Xiphophorus maculatus (Günther) in Brazil, but this is evidently a synonym of C. cotti, an Asian species now introduced into many countries of different continents, where it parasitizes many species of cultured and native fish species , Wu et al 2007). suggested this synonymy, but because the paper describing C. maculatus was not yet published at that time, they could not do it formally.…”

. A total of 30 specimens of arapaimas body length 6.5-175cm were examined for the presence of helminth parasites. The camallanid nematodes recovered were washed in physiological saline and then fixed in hot 4% formaldehyde solution. For light microscopy, the nematodes were cleared with glycerine. Drawings were made with the aid of a Zeiss drawing attachment. After examination, the specimens were stored in vials with 70% ethanol. Measurements are given in micrometres unless otherwise stated, with means in parentheses.For scanning electron microscopy (SEM), fixed specimens were postfixed in 1% osmium tetroxide in phosphate buffer, dehydrated through a graded acetone series, critical-point dried and sputter-coated with gold. The samples were examined using a JEOL ISM-7401F scanning electron microscope at an accelerating voltage of 4 kV or 8 kV.For confocal laser scanning microscopy studies, the specimens fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde were incubated overnight with faloidin conjugated to FITC 1:700 in PBS (Sigma) and mounted in semi-permanent slides in PBS with 2.5% de 1,4-diazabiciclo-(2,2,2)-octanotrietilenodiamina and 50% glycerol, pH 7.2. Studies were performed using an Olympus BX51 with Fluoview version 3.2.In addition to newly collected specimens from Mexiana Island, one stained gravid female of C. tridentatus (mounted as a slide), collected from A. gigas from the Negro River, AM, Brazil, by Ferraz and Thatcher (1990) During recent investigations into the helminth parasites of fish in the Mexiana Island, Amazonia, Brazil, specimens of Camallanus tridentatus (Drasche) were collected from the arapaima Arapaima gigas (Schinz). Drasche (1884) briefly described this species as Cucullanus tridentatus from a single female specimen found by him among Diesing's type material of Goezia spinulosa (Diesing) from A. gigas, originally collected by Natterer in Brazil. Later Baylis (1927) shortly described another, probably non-gravid female, of C. tridentatus, from a collection of helminth parasites of A. gigas sent to the then British Museum (Natural History) in London from Brazil. The very incomplete data on the females of C. tridentatus by these authors represented the only available knowledge of this parasite species for the following more than 70 years, until Ferraz and Thatcher (1990) published a redescription of C. tridentatus based on one male and six females collected in A. gigas from the Negro River, state of Amazonas (AM), Brazil.Based on the examination of freshly collected material, the species is redescribed herein and new data on the morphology of adults and first-stage larva are inferred from confocal laser and scanning electron microscopy observations.
